Do you know what Gunkeshi is? It's a series of old-school tiny Gundam models made made from eraser-like plastic material, which emerged around 1985.

A super-rugged iPhone 6/6 Plus case, which is currently available by Thanko, is able to protect your iPhone from getting damaged by water, snow, dust, sand and shock.
